| Topic | In the new Rugrats Betty is going to be gay |
| NonDairyMiltank 05/28/21 6:25:31 AM #56: | this would actually be a counter-productive change as far as progressiveness because it pigeonholes Betty as a stereotypical pushy butch lesbian instead of a loud assertive straight woman who's a power mom (who are very much real, sometimes the wife is the boss in the house and the guy's comfortable with it) im glad when us gay women get more rep in media (with tact), but i have never been a fan of anything that looks sus like cheap pandering which is always more about commercial buzz than actually boosting minority representation, even worse when its done as a one-off joke in a special or movie and then never brought up again...which i hope is not gonna be the case anyway i always felt it was better to just create a new addition to the cast that breathes new life into established ones through interaction, which Rugrats has already successfully done with Kimi and Susie rehashing old characters is the lazy way out and just an admission by writers that making new likeable characters is too hard for them --- Moo. #Listen&Investigate ...
